This book is my personal story, my journey through life. I am
writing it despite what I read somewhere that it's not good to
write about oneself. But how can I write about things I haven't
experienced firsthand? The most difficult thing that has happened
to me in my life-divorce-also brought about the best things. I
discovered my own lifestyle-the happiness lifestyle. Maybe all that
is needed is a change of viewpoint and an understanding that if two
people are not headed in the same direction, it might be time to
part ways. Peacefully, lovingly, and with nothing but the best
wishes for the other person. I am writing this story for those who
are looking for happiness, searching for it themselves, or those
trying to deal with their relationships. I am also writing it for
myself. I am closing a chapter of my life, and I am assessing its
worth. I will write about my experiences, wins and losses, and
maybe through them you will realize what you want and don't want in
your life and those things that influence us in life. Sometimes it
can be some small thing, and sometimes something more serious, that
will be reflected in our subconscious. This negative information
about ourselves then influences us on our journey through life and
will trap us in certain models of behavior. My story is about
searching for my own path. Despite being divorced, I am fully
supportive of the family life, and that it is an arena of freedom.
What do you think gives us freedom? For me personally, it is being
able to speak the truth and have open communication. Thanks to
these two things I am able to grow, and the same goes for the
people that I am communicating with. We give each other an
opportunity for change. If we are not communicating openly and are
keeping our emotional wounds to ourselves, maybe we are destroying
a prospective relationship. Yes, I know, you need two to tango.
Where is the best place to start? With yourself. No one will teach
you how to live a happy life. We learn from our parents. Without
even knowing it, they are showing and teaching us models of
behavior, whether they are negative or positive. But as children,
we're not able to recognize what these are, and we accept
everything that we see and also what we feel. In January 2005, I
laid hands on Virginia Satir's book Conjoint Family Therapy. As
early as 1970, Virginia Satir was describing how we could live
freely within our families. Yes, we could, if we knew how to
communicate truthfully and openly, without fear, without anger, and
without hurt. My divorce mobilized all the inner power and skills I
had that I was unaware of until then. It was a valuable part of my
journey of finding myself This path began sometime during this
period. In the two years leading to my divorce, I felt as if I was
buried alive. Do you know that feeling? We can all decide whether
we want to live again and cherish every minute of life. I decided
that I did. This book is comprised of three parts: part 1 is my
very own story; part 2 talks about ways and methods that have
helped me; part 3 allows space for creation of a happy life. It is
an interactive e-book, so whichever way you choose, you will always
find something new. After clicking on the green words, you will
find more information on the topic. You can enter all your
additional inquiries into Google. "Don't believe a word I say." Let
the book inspire you. Examine and discover your lifestyle-the
happiness lifestyle.
Which Roman places or remains still exist in the UK today? And what

Discover the incredible story of a young daughter of immigrants who
would grow up to be the first woman, first Black person, and first
South Asian American ever elected Vice President of the United
States in this moving picture book biography of Kamala Harris. When
Kamala Harris was young, she often accompanied her parents to civil
rights marches-so many, in fact, that when her mother asked a
frustrated Kamala what she wanted, the young girl responded with:
"Freedom!" As Kamala grew from a small girl in Oakland to a senator
running for president, it was this long-fostered belief in freedom
and justice for all people that shaped her into the inspiring
figure she is today. From fighting for the use of a soccer field in
middle school to fighting for the people of her home state in
Congress, Senator Harris used her voice to speak up for what she
believed in and for those who were otherwise unheard. And now this
dedication has led her all the way to being elected Vice President
of the United States. Told in Nikki Grimes's stunning verse and
featuring gorgeous illustrations by Laura Freeman, this picture
book biography brings to life a story that shows all young people
that the American dream can belong to all of us if we fight for one
another.
